A hybrid monster
It's an absolute beast when it comes to the roads and it's pure sound is just mesmerising and it's power is way too good. It's definitely an eye catcher and since its a ducati made no compromise in any sorts of engine or design. Pure adrenaline rush at red line and a very exciting one to ride a lower rpms

Ducati Monster: The Iconic Naked Bike Reinvented
The Ducati Monster is an iconic naked bike known for its Italian design, performance, and versatility.The newest Monster weighs only 188 kg (414 lbs), making it easy to handle.A great balance of stability and maneuverability, perfect for city riding and twisty roads.Minimalist yet muscular look, maintaining the classic Ducati trellis frame (older models).The modern version has a sporty aluminum frame, improving rigidity

The bike is great. But priced too high for indian market. Could have made more affordable IMO. Hope to see more middleweight bikes in indian market.

Decent Bike
While it's a decent bike, it doesn't stand out as the best, especially considering the variety of options available in this price range that offer superior comfort. In my opinion, some drawbacks of this bike include its weight. It's considerably heavy, which might pose challenges, especially for beginners or those transitioning from lighter bikes. Maneuvering it in city areas can be quite challenging.

Best Bike For Racing
There are a few compromises, most noticeably the shock, but overall it delivers a lovely balance of performance and handling that makes it fun. Owning an RS660 won't feel like a downward step. You have chosen to own a smaller-capacity sports bike and you can hold your head up high at any bike meet.
